Week 12??

I thought of a variety of topics that may be suitable for the undetermined lecture in week 12. Below I will outline a couple;


Animal Cruelty

Most of us have pets whom we love very much and often mistake for members of the family. Still there are many animals within this world which are not treated with the respect they deserve. Of course, it is clear that animals cannot think critically like ourselves, and cannot care for themselves without some form of human intervention.
As animal cruelty is such a wide topic, I am going to talk specifically about the treatment of livestock in factory farming and the fur trade.
In the most severe cases animals are commuted in large numbers to these farms and brought to death. Many would see the living conditions as unacceptable, as in a lot of cases the animals never get to see daylight and are stuck in cages which doesn't allow them to behave naturally.
However, without factory farming it would be impossible to be able to purchase the varaities of meats and pates we have today, at cheap prices.

Homosexuality

I won't go into much detail about this partcular topic, but do you see homosexuality as a bad thing. Personally I don't, but I know of a few people who do.
Stop and think - how many times have you used the words 'gay' or 'lesbian' as an insult?
Even in today's society there is a lot of stigma attached to homosexualty and whether it is right or wrong. Peoples views are often determined by there religion or the community they grew up in.



Sometimes it can difficult to establish what is bad and what is plain evil. And I feel that my suggestions fit comfatably into the category of being bad and they all could be considered for our lecture in week 12.
